Parks & Recreation Commission Minutes November 14, 2018 Page 2 did not have the current map's additional building with 67 units on the other side of the proposed storage facility. Chair Anderson asked the Commission if the request could be approved next month or if it had to be this month considering the change of plans and additional apartment units. Also asking if the new information presented would change the Commissions point of view from the general consensus by the Commission at the September 12, 2018 meeting to receive cash dedication for the property. Dan Anderson, Briggs Companies, stated that the process does not make or break the project of having park dedication and it is expected to have that. Their biggest concern is regarding the transient action in the area with 28-30 reports a month to the police department. The vandalism is over the top and damage is overwhelming. Issue is more about when we put people there that they are safe, creating a safe environment for them. The commission discussed the proposed drive to the western portion of the property but ultimately decided not to provide input on it as they recommended only cash dedication. They discussed the need for a trail easement running north and south along the bluff line and how to access this easement from Zane Street. The commission also had a discussion on the need for a future location of a boat landing (once Babcock closes) and did not think this property was a good location. They agreed the city should focus on an area further south near the proximity of the proposed interchange of 167t1i Avenue and Highway 169. Moved by Commissioner Niziolek and seconded by Commissioner Rathbun to accept staff recommendation of park dedication to be paid in the form of cash for the number of units approved by the City Council at the rate applicable when the subdivision is released for recording. (This will be $4,897.02/unit at the 2018 high density rate) A 50- foot trail easement from under Highway 101 Bridge to the southern property line of the site shall be provided with the majority of the easement being located above and along the bluff line. The final location shall be approved by city staff. Adding that a 30-foot wide trail easement, connecting the 50-foot easement to Zane Street, shall be provided. Motion carried 7-0. 6.
